(747%: yfijzam ATTORNEY Patented Apr. 14, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT QFFHQE CHARLES W. JOI-IAM, OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR TO STERQT, JOHAllI AND GROSSTMAN, ENG, A COEEORATION OF GALIFOBNIA NEGKTIE-DISPLAY STAND Application filed February 18, 1929.

This invention relates to store display fiX- tures and especially to a device in the form of a cover for what is generally, and well known, in the trade as a collar and tie top.

It has been an ancient practice to utilize a stand having a circular top, with a bottom ledge as a holder on which a dress collar with an applied tie is mounted; the inner band of the collar resting on the bottom ledge 10 of the top.

It will be'seen that this requires the use of a fresh, clean or new collar when it is desired to display a tie, as the special on sale. The collar becomes soiled and must be disposed of at a loss.

In the present invention one object is to utilize the usual top of the display stand without change and to provide an attachment in the form of a cover which will telescope over the usual top after the tie has been applied and drawn up tight on the circular face of the top; which cover for the top will simulate a collar, and which is wholly free or detached as to the top so that the tie can be perfectly draped and tied on the top before the cover or imitation collar is applied.

Other objects, advantages and features of construction, and a method of manufacture of the imitation collar will be made manifest in the ensuing description of the herewith illustrative embodiment; it being understood that modifications, variations and adaptations may be resorted to within the spirit, scope and principle of the invention as it is hereafter more directly claimed.

Figure 1 is a perspective of the applied cover.

Figure 2 is a central section of the applied cover.

A well known show fixture for haberdashers use consists of a standard 2 on the top of which is mounted a circular top 3 of a depth to receive a linen collar on which a tie has been draped, the collar resting on the bottom ledge 3 In Fig. 2 this top is shown as of spun sheet metal.

An advantage sought by the present invention is to dispense with the use of a real collar and to derive the full display of a Serial No. 340,729.

tie T after this has been tied directly on the circular face of the top 3.

To that purpose I provide an appliance consisting of a cover 5 having a downwardly extending imitation collar 6 of such size as to snugly fit about the ledge 3 of the top 3 andpcover the applied band B of the draped tie i.

A feature of the invention is the realistic front, flared points 7 spread to form a throat opening for the knot of the tie T, looped up tight on the top 3.

It will be seen that the cover 5 is in itself a complete article of manufacture and is saleable as an appliance to be mounted on the old, well-known collar and tie top already forming a part of the fixture equipment of a haberdasher store.

lVhat is claimed is:

A necktie display appliance comprising, in combination, a pair of separable elements one of which consists of a form about which a tie is adapted to be looped and knotted in display position, and the other element comprising a cover adapted to be applied to the form element after the tie has been arranged and which includes a down-turned perimetric interrupted flange to telescope over the band of the tie on the form element.
